Jayam
Ravi-Hansika
starrer
Romeo
Juliet
is
all
set
to
hit
theatres
this
Friday(12th
June).
The
film
is
directed
by
producer
turned
director
Lakshman
and
is
bankrolled
by
Nanthagopal
S.
Though
the
film
has
not
enjoyed
huge
anticipation
or
buzz
around
it,
it
has
been
in
the
news
ever
since
the
track
'Dandanakka'
was
released
and
hence
has
managed
to
catch
some
attention.
Amidst
controversies
and
delays,
the
movie
is
finally
on
its
way
to
get
noticed
worldwide
this
Friday.
It's
a
romance-comedy,
which
revolves
around
two
characters,
Romeo
and
Juliet.
Apart
from
the
central
characters,
the
flick
features
Vamsi
Krishna
in
a
negative
role
and
actors
like
Uma
Padmanabhan,
VTV
Ganesh
and
Poonam
Bajwa
in
supporting
roles.
While
the
music
has
been
scored
by
D
Imman,
S
Soundar
Rajan
has
wielded
the
camera.
Editor
Anthony
has
chipped
in
with
his
editing
skills
and
lyrics
for
the
songs
have
been
written
by
Rokesh,
Madhan
Karky
and
Thamarai.
All
Jayam
Ravi
fans
have
been
waiting
eagerly
for
the
release
of
this
movie
as
their
favourite
star
has
had
a
quiet
couple
of
years.
His
previous
movie
Nimirndhu
Nil
too
did
not
fare
well
at
the
box
office.
Having
said
that,
will
Romeo
Juliet
go
on
to
become
a
hit?
Well,
only
time
will
decide
that.
For
now,
take
a
look
at
the
slides
below
to
know
some
of
the
interesting
facts
about
the
movie.
Nayantara's
Loss
Is
Hansika's
Gain
It
is
reported
that
Nayantara
was
first
approached
for
the
heroine
role.
But
since,
the
actress
had
already
signed
Jayam
Ravi's
Thani
Oruvan,
she
rejected
the
offer
saying
she
doesn't
want
to
feature
in
two
films
with
the
same
hero
at
a
time.
Hansika
was
approached
next.
Hansika
A
Futuristic
Girl
According
to
Hansika,
Romeo
Juliet
has
an
interesting
storyline,
the
pretty
actress
has
revealed
that
her
role
is
about
a
girl
with
futuristic
attitude,
while
Jayam
Ravi's
character
would
be
more
conservative.
Isn't
it
the
opposite
usually?
Arya's
Special
Appearance
The
team
of
Romeo
Juliet
had
shot
a
sequence
where
real
life
celebrities
approach
Jayam
Ravi's
character,
a
fitness
trainer,
to
help
them
achieve
six
pack
abs.
Arya,
a
good
friend
of
Jayam
Ravi,
made
a
guest
appearance.
Romeo
Juliet's
Connection
With
Kalvanin
Kadhali
We
had
earlier
mentioned
that
the
director
of
this
film
was
once
a
producer.
Kalvanin
Kadhali,
featuring
SJ
Surya
and
Nayantara
was
actually
produced
by
Lakshman,
director
of
Romeo
Juliet.
First
Official
Poster
The
film's
first
official
poster
was
released
on
14th
April
2014,
coinciding
with
the
Tamil
New
Year
and
indicated
that
filming
had
begun.
The
team
held
their
first
schedule
on
May
2014,
with
Poonam
Bajwa
joining
the
cast.
Songs
While
'Dandanakka' is
already
a
known
song,
it
is
only
fair
to
look
forward
to
other
songs
as
well.
While
Anirudh
has
sung
'Dandanakka',
Vishal
Dadlani
has
sung
two.
Vaikom
Vijayalakshmi
too
has
crooned
the
number
titled,
'Idarkuthaane
Aasaipattai'
